It's my life

It's been a while since I've posted, and the reason for my absence has been none other than the strain of hard schoolwork in my matric year hanging over my back. Luckily, It is now exam time and I have never in my life been so happy to enter a full three weeks of exam. It may mean studying but that is nothing compared to the work load that it takes off all of our shoulders.

I have come to experience over the past months some moments that I have only ever seen in movies. So much so that I could not believe the situations in which I landed myself and yet, I laugh to myself, that movies, (well, some anyways) are based on people, and their emotions and real events. So technically, the movie moments that are based on supposed yet unlikely reality, has been my life for a while now.

But on the subject of people, I find them incresingly strange beings in behaviour. I know that one cannot justly compare people with animals, but we all possess the same qualities and organs that make us living breathing creatures and I like to look at our behaviour compared to that of other living mammals. How humans can fake emotion, Smile when they don't really mean it, laugh when they don't find something funny and the fact that we possess the intelligence that allow us to pick up subtle changes in body language and tone and know that its fake. Yet we still do it, despite the fact that we know others know we faking it. I've never seen a dog wag its tail when it wasn't happy to be accepted into another dogs pack. or a horse arch with pride when it wasn't happy. Humans truly are stange beings.
